Top 5 Memorable Places to Propose in Licking County | Newark, Ohio Wedding Photographer

It's February. The month of love. Honestly, I love Valentine's Day and since I am a Wedding photographer, I wanted to post my top five memorable places to propose in Licking County.



Newark. I love this little town. Honestly, it's probably been one of my favorite places I have ever lived. Since all of the revitalizing they have done downtown Newark, it keeps getting better!

Valentine's Day is coming up soon and we all know there will be lucky ladies all over Central Ohio who's boyfriends will "Put a Ring on It". So in anticipation for Valentine's Day and wedding season, I have put together my top 5 most memorable places to propose in Licking County (yes, this is the romantic side of me is coming out!).



1. Dawes Aboretum in Newark, Ohio
If your girl the outdoorsy type? Go for a romantic stroll through Dawes Arboretum. A romantic proposal around one of the ponds or on the look-out deck would be perfect for her.

2. Canal Market District - Downtown Newark, Ohio
Is she more of a city girl? I love downtown Newark. After a dinner at Park Place Bistro, take a stroll around the square and pop the question at the Canal Market District. It;s unique and beautiful plus you can get a view of the court-house!

3. Ye Olde Mill - Utica, Ohio
What girl doesn't love ice cream! This place would be romantic along the stream and private!

4. Infirmary Mound Park - Granville, Ohio
If your a picnic kind of couple the Infirmary Mound Park in Granville is gorgeous during the spring time!

5. The Granville Inn - Granville, Ohio
Who doesn't love Granville? The Granville Inn has all the feels. Beautiful,  Quaint, unique, romantic. This place would be perfect!



I hope somewhere a girl's dashing Prince Charming finds this useful.

And...you know who to call once your engaged for engagement and wedding photography, right? ;)

Stay Fabulous my friend!

Sully- Mommy & Me Session {Granville, Ohio-Bryn Du Mansion}

    Hey friends! Here is a cute Mommy & Me session that I shot at Bryn Du Mansion in Granville, Ohio back in the spring. Mommy and Me sessions are a great way to capture the love and bond between Mom and her children. Enjoy :)

   Hey friends! I know I am not keeping up with blogging like I wanted too. Life is crazy and I find myself getting the necessities done and letting tasks like blogging fall by the wayside. I usually always post sneak peeks of each of my sessions unless my client specifically asks me not to. Blogging is a way for me to post more pictures then just a couple from each session. 
    I can't believe it is September! Summer has come and gone and fall is right around the corner. Fall is my favorite time of the year and it invigorates me. I love fall colors, pumpkins, the smell of cinnamon and spice, fall decorations, pumpkin spice coffee, boots and scarves, etc. I also love to shoot in the fall. I am planning (if everything goes as planned) to hold Fall sessions in an apple orchard like I did last year on a weekend in October so be looking out for that special here on the blog and also on my Facebook page. 
     Now, here is some favorites from this adorable family's session during the summer. The Japanese Garden at Dawes Arboretum had just opened I think so it was my first time shooting there. Tosha, thank you for letting me capture your family. 

Stay fabulous!
